Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 157: Southern Heavenly Gate

Hundreds of low and mid earth qi jades were all over the living room, not randomly mind you, but in a particular and intriguing pattern.

The whole team gathered, the three demons, Su Qingyi, Ye Xiaolu, panda, Du Fei, as well as Madam Ning who Du Fei saved.

Li Mo began, This transfer is unlike before. It wont take us to an unranked planet, but a random one. The chance exists for us to end up on a dead planet, or a highly dangerous one. Im not trying to scare you, but cowardice wont get us anywhere. We have to be bold and find the blessing in disguise. With our current strength, a snap of the fingers will kill us.

No way. Ive seen no freak stronger than you on this planet. Ye Xiaolu was casually eating an apple.

Bro Mo, is a high ranked planet that frightening?

More than you know.

Du Fei, are you really planning on taking her? Li Mo hinted at Madam Ning.

I didnt, but I have no choice. She is emptyheaded. Like you said, only by using light qi can I help her. Who knows how long this trip will last. If I wont help her now, she might be stuck like this all her life.

Li Mo nodded.

Going to an unranked planet to train was no longer viable for Du Fei and co. Only on a high ranked planet could get them tougher and stronger. That included Li Mo as well.

The array will start in five minutes. Check your top earth qi jades. They are your only means of escape if you meet danger.

They nodded.

Masters, you must return safely. Mite Snow and Millie Snow watched with reddened eyes. They were too weak and taking them would be pointless. It was better to stay here and watch the house. 

Five minutes later, the earth qi jades in the array flashed goldenly and the group was gone.

Wuuu~

Before they could even see clearly, they heard eerie sounds as sand and stones carried by the wind stormed around them.

#%@*, youre right. This is no ordinary planet! Ye Xiaolu yelled, but her voice was drowned by the cacophony of wind.

The wind was blowing at them from every which way, sharp as blades.

The array needs time to recover after each transfer. Only use earth qi jades when you meet unbeatable opponents.

Li Mos voice was heard clearly in their ears, despite the low tone.

Oh no, the wind is picking up! Du Fei shouted.

The storm surged and threw them all ten meters into the air.

Do we use earth qi jade? Ye Xiaolu shrieked.

Instead of answering, Li Mo linked the others with spiritual qi.

What talks about getting stronger when theyd balk under a mere breeze?

Sisters, it looks like Ive recovered my demon qi. Jade pipa was ecstatic.

Black demon qi rose from within the storm, cutting the winds power almost completely.

So is mine!

Me too!

Not just jade pipa, but Whitey and Niney were back to normal as well.

With the three demons demon qi, the storm cooled and the rest could now stand normally. 

This feels great!

Yeah, ha-ha-ha

Jadey and Niney laughed in joy, releasing their demon qi to the point of covering the sun above.

Then, two grunts came from within the demon qi.

Sisters, whats wrong? Whitey cried in panic.

Sister, he is a liar. He used a secret art to limit our demon qi to the point of not even be able to assume our human form. Dont let him get to you and kill him. We sisters shall rule this planet!

Sisters right. Our demon qi had recovered. That means this man has always lied to us!

Stop!

Whitey barked, destroying the twos demon qi attack at Li Mo.

Big sister, what did he do to you?

Big sister, we have always been sisters on the path of cultivation. Why are you helping an outsider?

Big sister, this is our best chance. Now that we recovered and how weak he is, theres no way he can take us. Big sister, listen to me.

I said stop!

Brilliant Fist!

Amidst their quarreling, Du Fei shined and scattered the threes demon qi.

Du Feis light was demon qis bane!

Little sister, lets leave!

Jade pipa shouted, and the two sped away.

When the two left, the storm picked up again but abated once Whitey used her demon qi.

Forgive me, I didnt know theyd be like this

I will spare them, for your sake. But the next time we meet, we will no longer be comrades.

Whiteys demon qi shuddered.

How come you still havent asked me why you can recover your demon qi here?

I trust you. Whitey replied.

This place closely resembles your former lifes environment, with thick and pure spiritual qi. But this wont last because youre not natives of this planet. Your demon qi recovered, but not for long. The recovery will slow down more and more with time.

Whitey was shocked.

Whitey flew on her wicked wind for fifty miles before the storm stopped.

There was no wind around her.

She then landed, finding herself in some ruins.

Before her was a wrecked hundred meters stone gate. One side was even incomplete, while the other collapsed, and the sign thrown at the side.

Youre right. My demon qi is decreasing

Whitey sighed in the distance.

The group gathered around the sign and could distinguish three characters on it. The first two, south and heaven, were damaged while the last was unreadable. 

South heaven? Whats that? Ye Xiaolu started peeling an orange.

There are three words in total, but what comes after south heaven?

Li Mo spoke, The Southern Heavenly Gates!
